SuperMicro IPMI Black Screen

Hi, previously i use IPMI at virmach to install Debian like year ago and now i want to install Centos 7. after boot and select install and show fews text and then it show black screen instead installation menu. i just want to install centos 7 with minimal and no gnome/kde.

For your case, it causes by raid cache. Any iso will have the same result. You have to start the iso with disable raid syncing or more simpler, just boot some sort of rescue disk and format the disk (even Windows does).

I have always installed Centos 07 in IPMI supermicro and all my servers are E3.

I have not had that problem.

but try using VNC and see what happens

nah provider always have more experience with it, im rarely to install OS if server running in months or years, so i dont know how to install via vnc. im using java console, and on web java always need update even using latest jre and firefox/chrome.

if this problem occur at least at 2016, why supermicro not patched cause supermicro more popular right now than ex, dell idrac.

E3 server with what CPU exactly ? Some of them have a graphic card built in - Aspeed IPMI relies on Aspeed graphic card to transmit video; if you have any GPU, including built in the CPU this will prevent IPMI from picking up Video.

Can you show a picture of the error or the black screen that shows it?

i cant, literally black screen without any text or images.
